[R-SIG-Mac] odd problem building gmp from source, addendum

[Carl Witthoft]

It occurs to me I should post the mods I made to the source matrixz.R, 
just in case I managed to do something really bad :-(.

Here is my code snippet:
apply <- function(X, MARGIN,FUN,...)
   UseMethod("apply")

apply.default <- function(X, MARGIN,FUN,...)
   base::apply(X, MARGIN,FUN,...)


apply.bigz <- function(X, MARGIN,FUN)

That differs from the original source only in the addition of the '...' 
argument to apply and apply.default.
